WORLD HUNTED JAMONS MADE POTTERY

For a long time, the prehistoric Japanese people were a mystery. Archaeologists know they created pottery over twelve thousand years ago, at a time when most societies were still hunting and gathering. As these early forerunners of modern Japanese grew more comfortable with creating pottery, it became more and more elaborate, and much of what historians know of early Japanese life comes from the information on these recovered pots, which were called "Jamon," and which also became the name of the people who created them. These pots had elaborate rope-patterns on them that gave them their name, and they became more elaborate as time went on . This early culture clearly was interested in more than simple pots to use for everyday life, as the increasingly elaborate decorations show. They were interested in beauty, and that is a trait that has continued throughout Japanese history.

National Treasures of Japan are the most precious of Japan's Tangible Cultural Properties, as determined and designated by the Agency for Cultural Affairs (a subsidiary of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology). A Tangible Cultural Property is considered to be of historic or artistic value, classified either as "buildings and structures", or as "fine arts and crafts". Each National Treasure must show outstanding workmanship, a high value for world cultural history, or exceptional value for scholarship.

The designated items provide an overview of the history of Japanese art and architecture from ancient to modern times, with the earliest archaeological National Treasures dating back 4,000 years, and the Akasaka Palace dating from the early 20th century. In Japan, the first indications of stable living patterns and civilization date to the Jōmon period, from about 14,000 BC to 300 BC. Clay figurines (dogū) and some of the world's oldest pottery, discovered at sites in northern Japan, have been designated as the oldest National Treasures in the "archaeological materials" category. Some of the earliest items in this category are objects discovered in sutra mounds from the Kamakura period. A proportion of the oldest designated National Treasures were directly imported from mainland China and Korea.

30,000BC Jamon tribe people in Japan

30,000 years ago tribal people we name today as JAMON lived in an island named Japan. These people were different than the ones today.I will tell you about the Jomon period. The Jomon period was the first period of Ancient Japan,live in small villages.people are mostly hunters or gatherers. They hunt animals like boars, deer, or fish.

The Jomon period was divided into 6 eras. The eras included the incipient era, the Initial era, the early era, the middle era, the last Jomon era, and the final Jomon era. The wise people in our village say that Jomon means cord-marked. I think that it makes sense because our pottery is filled with drawings. We had markings on cords and ropes.as practiced in many parts of the ancient world.they have 6 eras, like I said before the first era was the incipient era. The incipient era was dated to be about 10,500 B.C-8,000 B.C.left behind pottery pieces. My dad said that he made pottery near the Kanto Plain. The reason we make potteries is that we make them for fun.

The people in the incipient Jomon were mostly hunters, but very few gatherers. These people developed the art of pottery before agriculture was introduced in Japan. Also the incipient Jomon demonstrated that pottery making is a human technology and it is just like agriculture.

Initial Jomon, which was dated to be about 8,000B.C. -5,000 B.C. Now the potteries were used for a different reason, boiling food.these potteries were different than the ones in the incipient era.
